[Friendly acquaintance! They are, as far as Jarlaxle is concerned, on good terms. Good enough for a friendly bet. The initial reply is completely and totally expected, and the drow gestures, as if to prompt the other man along.]

That is neither a yes or a no though.

[Oh he seems well meaning enough! Same old dazzling smile, same old chipper attitude!]

I can see in the distance a massive ship's wheel. Between us and that wheel is the initial start to our obstacle course. From what I can see of this beginning leg, there is not much that would require teamwork, if both parties are fit enough.

Certainly we'll need each other's help later... But in the name of a little friendly competition up until that point, I would wager you that I could reach that wheel before you. Just a short race, and regardless of who arrives there first, our partnership will endure through the remainder of the run of course.

That hardly sounds morally questionable, does it?
